Plus Size Empowerment

This episode discusses the effect that body image can have on a person’s mental health. I talk about my own struggles with mental health and how those have fluctuated and affected my opinions of myself. I saw a direct correlation between my weight and my self esteem. I also talk about how I started to overcome that to see my true worth.

Thanks for listening to the first episode of Plus Size Empowerment! This episode is an introduction to the podcast, touching on the subject by first diving into the things that got me interested in empowering all bodies to begin with. In this episode, I talk briefly about my writing during my graduate program and how it opened the door to fat activism for me.
